My mother had 9. It is not important how many children you have, it is important how well you look after the children till they grow and stand on their own. It is easy to bear many children,but to raise them, it will take toll on your health. It also depends on economic condition of the family. If you are rich enough, you can produce as many as you can, so that you can provide them seaparate room for each child, fulfil their childhood ambitions, attend to all of them etc.

No I don't. You can have as many as you want and can handle. Two isn't a lot compared to some people.

hi,i don't agree with having more children...as per the requirements of children we can brought up 2 children with all facilities and LLOVE also..if more all the inputs will be diluted..this is all in the case of rich countries...less populated countries..the countries like ours and china ,we can't bear more than 2..less oppurtunities..we can't show them good future..

I dont know why this idea crossed your mind. Its not selfish at all. If you can have children and if you can afford to have a lot of children plus if you love children, I dont see why you shouldnt have more. Compared to what you think this is selfish I wonder. Have any number of children and love them and treat them equally. Have a great day.

Why would it be greedy? I think that if you want to have more children, then you should go for it. As long as you would be able to take care of all of them and would provide them with the material needs and the attention they need, then by all means, have one or 2 more.

NOOOO I don't think its greedy or selfish of you at all. Why in the world would you think that it would be? I think you should have as many as you can handle and support. How old are the kids that you have now? How many more would you like to have? Kids are great I would of had 20 if I had the money to LOL. Have a great day :D

If you have more love to give, you should have more children. It is something you and your spouse should agree on.

No, i don't think that you are greedy or selfish for wanting more children when you already have two. The only way I would think this was selfish would be if you couldn't support the child you wanted to have. I don't think its right when these mothers have all these kids that they can't support. Its not only selfish and greedy but I think its a form of child abuse. I wouldn't want to bring a child into this world knowing I couldn't give them the proper life they deserve. If you are a good mother and can provide for the children you have the more power to you. If somebody has a child they can't provide a good life for than i think they should give the kid up for adoption because somebody out there will be able to.

No way! If you can feed them, love them, and care for them! Do so! Also remember that there are thousands of children that need loving homes already!:) Adoption is a beautiful option!

I dont think it is greedy or selfish to want to have more children. If you can support them financially and educate them in a good way besides giving them all the emotional securiy and care and affection i think you can have more kids. But if it not the case it is not very feasible to have more kids because you might regret later of having too many children.

Selfish. As you know entire world is suffereing with over population. As a person to look after the situation, you have to control the desires and extend the advantage to your children when they are grown people. Instead you want to get children means selfishness of yours.

I think its really ok if you want some more children just as long as you have enough time for each one of them. Just make sure that all of them get a proper attention that they need. But i think at the moment, since you have two children just enjoy the moment with them.

i do not think that it is greedy or selfish to want more children when you have 2 already. If you have the love to give to a child and want more there is nothing wrong with it. There is no set number of children that a person should stop at if they want and can provide for more.

I don't think it's selfish or greedy to want to have more children... As long as you are able to give them a good life. I've seen a couple women who were unable to support their kids and ended up giving them away. That is something I don't like to see. I would love to have more kids too. But I've decided to wait until I am financially stable.

Yes, I do---I don't think anyone should bear more than two children. If what you really want it to RAISE more kids, adopt. There are plenty of children out there who need a good and loving home, and in my opinion, if you can only love a child because it shares your DNA, then you're probably not a very good parent.
